I don’t know about you, but I love doilies! Especially vintage. As you know I have a shop where I sell vintage doilies, mostly hand dyed.

Many crochet doily patterns were published by thread manufacturers in the first part of the 20th century. The designs are typically circular or oval starting from the center and worked outward. There are so many things that you can make with crochet patterns - mandalas, doilies, coasters, cushions and more.

If you are looking to add a friendly and homey touch to your home décor - crocheting a doily for decoration is a charming way to add a very personal touch. You can brighten up your home with some red, blue or other colorful doily or add an elegant touch with ornate white doily. Sew it in the pillow or simply decorate the table.

I created this collection of free crochet doily patterns to decorate your home. There are crochet patterns for intermediate to advanced levels.

There are many handbags to choose from, but what can be more stylish, glamour, and grace than the clutch bag?

Today I want to show you a small selection of breathtakingly beautiful clutches. They are made in different techniques: embroidered with beads and sequins, decorated with ribbons or fabric flowers, in the form of little animals. It seems there isn’t any kind of decor that would not be used by designers.

In fact, simple form of clutch is the perfect canvas for creative person.

The idea of the clutch purse came from the Victorian era with the reticule. It’s a small decorative bag in which lady stored her handkerchief and smelling salts. Clutch as the evening accessory has been the norm since the 1930s, when Hollywood starlets and socialites began to show a preference for handheld structured bags at special events. After the war, the clutch purse became the evening bag of choice for elegant women everywhere.

Now you can find clutches in every collection Haute couture or pret a porter. It needs a long time to produce one clutch Haute couture. Nathalie Trad and her namesake label, for example, take a minimum of two weeks. The process includes hand-picking shells (paua blue, mother-of-pearl and black lip) specific to certain tones and variations.
